While Blogs are a great source of information for us all to utilise there is a growing trend on Wamp for threads simply linking to Blogs without adding to the content on Wamp itself. Some of these are a direct attempt to drive traffic to that Blog. We would encourage you to share content directly on Wamp itself (and include a link in your signature) but we understand this isn't always wanted by the blog author. We would therefore ask that if you are posting content that requires readers to go to another website or Blog that you post it in the links section of the forum. Blogs hosted on Wamp are excluded of course! We hope you understand. If you have any issues please contact Darklord

its striking a pose and breathing, not too tough don't be put off my all the images you see of people bending them selves into odd shapes. At is most basic you can do yoga in 5 min a day. I will think about doing a thread to show how easy it can be anyone can stand still and breath can do yoga.

well I managed to put on 2lbs this week despite around 125 miles ridden last week at high tempo! Did 3 hours yesterday in absolute horrendous weather (worst Ive ridden apart from West HIghland Way when I got hyporthermia!)
I poured about half a pint of water out of my socks. thats my fully waterproof sealskinz socks!
found out my jacket and gloves are no longer waterproof though so ordered some new ones (the previous ones were about 10 years old). Ive also got some bits coming to allow me to ditch my camebak on events. Its a trickeir proposition carrying enough kit and water for 11 hour rides in the wilderness but if it works its taking about a stone of weight of my back which should help a lot. I 2 weeks until my next event so Ill be doing a big ride this weekend, possibly a century if time allows. Thats on top of my 40m rides, hill sprint repeats and off the bike work. Still not where I want to be but its getting better though dissapointed on the weight gain

190 miles ridden last week despite a spoke knackering on my rear wheel meaning £400 for a new set of wheels. Hoping to hell they get here before Friday as next event is on Sunday.
Did a 102 mile ride on Sunday, my 2nd longest ever (and longest on the road). best my target pace too. (Only 14.1mph) but on a mtb with big knobbly tyres I dont think thats too bad! couldnt get much climbing in (only around 4000ft) as I had to ride near home due to the knackered wheel in case it collapsed. Ive ordered some faster and lighter tyres for the new wheels. Less grip but should suit my next 2 events better and im going packless now. Bit tricky kitting up a trail bike to go for 12 hours non-stop. Fluids being the main issue but I have added a 2nd bottle under my frame which gives me enough juice to cover about 3 hours which is just enough on the bigger events between feed stations.
Lost 2 3/4lbs last week. Still a way to go but with the muscle gain its not as much as the scales think!
